How does Ultrasonic Cleaning Work?
Ultrasonic cleaning is based upon a process of cavitation. Sound waves higher then 20 kHz are transmitted through a cleaning fluid, forming gas-bubbles in low pressure areas. The bubbles expand until they form a pressure, high enough to let the bubbles implode.
This causes a cavitation which very effectively can remove contamination from the surface of parts to be cleaned. Ultrasonic cleaning is the most effective way of cleaning known to science. When imploding a temperature of 5.500 degrees Celsius can develop for 1 micro-second. The imploding bubbles provide a jet stream through the cleaning fluid that removes the contamination. The benefits are very deep and effective cleaning and no loss of material.
